Family health issue needed us to stay close to hospital at short notice. Awesome service as we had to extend our stay not once but twice which was problem. Rooms were nice.

Rod and his team are so lovely, the rooms are very clean and spacious and well equipped. All staff are friendly and helpful. Nice and close to town but still nice and quiet even during really busy periods. Highly recommend staying here.
